# All of my window succulents are all growing like trees? Has anyone…

All of my window succulents are all growing like trees? Has anyone else experienced this? I thought they were small grounded plants

All 3 larger pots of succulents grow very tall, but the small potted one stays short?

Any comments are useful!! I understand all of their colors are different so they can be different “breeds” of succulents

hi! your succulents are leggy! also called etiolation , meaning that your succulents are stretching to find light , it’s their desperate attempt to find some. don’t worry! you can fix this and your succulents will be thriving. you can cut the succulent and it’ll eventually grow again. you can propergate what you just cut by letting it callous for a few days then stick it in soil. or you can also propergating it by twisting the leaves, letting them callous and then place them in soil, they’ll eventually grow roots and you’ll have more succulents! hope this helps 💚
